University Education in Kenya is one of the most valued commodities. There are a good number of private universities which are doing very well in terms of academics and infrastructure.
Nowadays, education in some private universities has been subsided by the government especially for those students who enroll under the KUCCPS program. A few students who do not meet the KUCCPS entry criteria cater for their tuition fee.
Just like public universities, tuition fees in private universities vary depending on the university on various ground; the location, reputability and the nature of the course being pursued.
